Wings Over Wilmington BY WEDDELL HARRISS Although high winds continued to plague the local bird-men, the Ridden rise of the mercury brought most of the boys back out to their favorite runways during the past week in search of high-altitude re laxation. The number of solo’s had climbed to eight at the time of •this writing, and two students had •qualified for their private lienses with a third scheduled to take his private check yesterday afternoon. i, Out at Pennington Flying Serv ice, at Bluethenthal Field. War ren’s crew sent four fledgelings into the blue on solo flights, Jesse Tatum, Jarvis Long, B. G. Earn •ey, and Jack Flowers. • Another Pennington student, Es MS>, Clemmons, breezed through his *heck flight for his private ticket. Two of “Warren’s Widgeons’’ logged in cross-country time last week. Bill Hayes completed cross country requirements toward a commercial tag and is now all, Vjst to begin night-flying. Robert •Robinson completed his 300 - mile Vross-country, flying down to Jack sonville, Florida, and back. Robert 4s also chasing down a commer «cial license. Both are receiving jtheir training under the beneftis of «e G, I. Bill. .. _ * 'The Wilmington Airpark (Air progress, Inc.), on the Wrights iville Beach highway between Ole ander and Winter Park, register €fi a trio of solo’s during the week. Kauno Lehto, who appears to be switching from Red Rock to hot Jrbck, Olie Strickland, and Eddie Jjarb, all G. I. students, took their ■•'all by myself!!” flights. '•Tom Brinson, another Airpark protege, came through with “fly ing” colors on his flight check for Jds Private ticket. ' l' Enrollment for the current G.I. class at the Airpark has mounted ta 23 students,including one ex )|dy-leatherneck. Registration for the forthcoming class, expected to tofe inaugurated around the middle alat+er part of the month, has imbed t0 15 potentials. ' ’The main topic of discussion dpwn at Peiffer Field (Carolina Skyways), on the Wrightsville 'Beach highway just on the t^wn-side of Bradley’s Creek, is not the number of solo’s, nor the potential priv-pilots, but the dis appearance of “Bandit”, the coon jpascot. * « The young coon, who established resident in the hangar, just picked up and left without notice Thurs day night. “He was just getting tame, too,” sobbed Eurk Rehder. ‘) “And he’d eat right out of your hand,” said John Rehder, adding he fought down the lump in his throat, “not even all the way down the bone, .either.” , »“We hope that if anyone around Seagate spies him they’ll catch him for us,” concluded Lavernen as she ran the back of her hand •cross her eyes. * 'One solo was recorded at Peif f$r over the last several days; David Wallace successfully check ing-out on the Aeronca trainer. * ‘Although no private tags had pjeen issued at Peiffer at the time pt this writing, Charlie Lowrimore, home from Carolina for the week •hd, was planning to have Burk give him his check flight late Sat urday afternoon. * 'Billy Nurnburger, just recently discharged after pulling duty in {iermany, took his cross-country to Burgaw.

This most Recent Stinson product is similar to the “Voyager”, except that the tear seat is removable and may be replaced by a maximum of 600 founds of luggage. W. E. Feast, C.A.A. Inspector Tor the North Carolina area, was expected in last Wednesday from Raleigh, but was held back by the Weather. He plans to drop by with Jri the next few days, though. < Dee Dunn, accompanied by three other members of the Dunn tlan, flew in from Winston-Salem Friday for a week-end visit with the Wilmington Dunns at the Air park. Dee made the trip in his Ballanca which is now in dis play at the ‘Park. » H. A. Nyles, Stinson delivery pi Jot, flew Carl’s new “Voyager” down from Detroit last Saturday, end without losing hi:# way at all during the lengthy flight, got lost pn arrival in Wilmington, finally landing at Peiffer Field instead of the Airpark. * A number of local airmen journeyed up to Greenville last week for the air show there. Joe Brown, Oscar Durant W. B. King, Carl Dunn, Tommy Wrench, Meares Harriss, ana Homer Barnes all flew ships up. And in cidentally, speaking of the air •how, Carl’s low-altitude stunt-fly ing exhibition completely stole the Jhow. t Jim Roberts, student at Caro lina, and Carrie Mae Wade flew flown Friday in Jim’s Swift for a Jveek-end visit with the Wades. * KN'OW YOUR INSTRUCTOR J Last week we’d intended to write Jip Carl Dunn, but the “Know —FOR— CORRECT TIME CALL 2-3575 —FOR— Correct Jewelry VISIT The JEWEL BOX Wilmington’s Largest Credit Jewelers 109 X. Front St. Your Instructor” part wasn’t pub lished until Monday afternoon. Carl took his flying lesson in 1933 while a student at Carolina, and finished up later under War ren Pennington. In 1936, Carl and Warren pooled their resources and established the Port City Flying Service. From there he went to work for the Virginia Air Service in War renton, Virginia, where he was made chief Pilot and General Manager. soon, nowever, in ne oougnx out the airport in Fort Myers, Florida, and not long after his mi gration to -the “sunshine state,” he was designated Director of Fly ing at the nearby British cadet training school in Arcadia, Flori da. When the U. S. entered the war, this field, now known as Page Field, was taken over by the air corps and Carl was held on in “bdss” capacity. Incidentally, at one time this field was the largest primary training school in the country. Leaving there in 1944, he went to work for Grumman Aircraft Co operation at Bethpage, Long Is land. Here he was given the duty of exhibiting the Navy’s fighter planes for visiting flag officers, lie also tested the F7F “Tiger cat,” which he still rates as the best all-around planes in the air. To go into all the unusual ex periences encountered by Carl since that first flight back in ’33 would take close to half a dozen books, so we won’t try today. However, we will go into one or two of them. While still in Florida, Carl achieved the honor of being the first pilot in the coun try to run an aerial newspaper delivery route. Other planes were already delivering papers by land ing and then taking off again, but he was the first to drop them from the air. His route consisted of various resort and fishing vil lages along the coast. He used to have a few favorite stunts that he employed to raise the hair of Florida air show en thusiasts. One of these stunts found him flying low over a speed ing convertible, and with a hook fastened between his wheels, pick a handkerchief off the aerial of the car. In addition to this, he often caused the spectators to hold their breath by flying an ancient tri-plane in which was installed a converted Model “T” engine. The story on Carl’s "aerial golf” brainstorm,” tod lengthy to give much discourse on now, and too interesting to cut short, will be found sometime this week in the Wilmington News. On scanning the alphabetical list of local instructors we find next week’s subject to be William (Bill) Dunn also of the Airpark.

(AP wTephoto)._ An Old Colleague Recalls Pulitzer For Centennial By SAUL PETT AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK, April 5.— (/P) —It was the kind of talk you’re likely to hear in city woms and bars when old newspapermen gather: “J. P. had a brilliant mind, one of the best. A great liberal and a tough fighter.” “J. P.” was the late Joseph Pulitzer and the man doing the talking in this case was white haired, 85-year - old Florence D. White, former general manager of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the old New York World. White leaned back in his rocker and thought aloud about h i s 33 years’ work with the great pub lisher, whose 100th birthday will be observed Thursday. ‘‘You know,” White said, ‘‘I can’t remember J. P. ever firing anybody and making it stick. Saved a lot of newspapermen that way. His papers made a lot of good ones, too. (The alumni roster of the World, bought by Pulitzer in 1883 for $346,000, i n eluded Franklin P. Adams, William Bolitho, Claude G. Bowers Heywood Broun, Irvin S. Cobb, Arthur Krock, Walter Lippmann, Charles Merz, Herbert Bayard Swope and Alexander Wollcott.) I remember one fellow m St. Louis who had gotten into some social difficulty. Wanted to quit, felt his usefulness was over. J. P. said, ‘everybody is entitled to a second chance.’ The man stayed, and later became a famous cor respondent.” “Another time, on the World, a chap in the business office was fired by the business manager for pilfering. J. P. ordered him rein stated. His only comment was, ‘put him back, remove temptation since he’s weak.’ The man stayed with the World until he died. “One morning, J. P. was seated at breakfast. The World was be ing read to him—his eyesight, you know, had been almost complete ly gone since '84. There was a story about the St. Patrick’s Day parade which began: “‘Eighty thousand people lined Fifth Ave. yesterday to-.’ “J. P. roared, ‘how many?’ ‘“Eighty thousand.’ “‘Who wrote that? How’d he know?’ ' “Turned out a star reported had written the story. Just his own crowd estimate, of course. J. p. ordered him fired. An hour later, he changed it to a week’s sus pension. The next morning there were placards all around the World office. They had just three words — ‘accuracy, terseness, ac curacy.’ “He was a bug on good writing. (One of the most coveted goals of American writers is to win a Pulitzer prize. Pulitzer’s gift of about $2,500,000 made possible the founding of the Columbia School of Journalism in 1912 and the Pulitzer prizes for distinctive work in journalism and letters.) “The man’s mind was amazing: He loved art and music and, of course, his newspapers. He had five or six secretaries who read to him and one who played the piano for him. I remember one day up at his place in Bar Harbor (Me.). “He was carrying on a frequent ly interrupted conversation with his wife. A secretary was reading ar. editorial and occasionally they discussed it. Also, he was playing chess with one of the boys’ tutors and, between bits of talk, whist ling an aria. All at the same time. (Pulitzer gave $1,000,000 to the Philharmonic society and another $1,000,000 to the Metropolitan mu seum of art.) “I think one of the happiest moments in his life was the day they completed the World build ing. It was on the site of an old hotel which had once kicked out J. P. as a tramp because he had no money. (An emigre from Hungary, Pulitzer served ’a year with the Union Army in the Civil war, and then looked vainly for a job in New York. He started west, broke. (Years later, he returned to New York as the successful pub lisher of the Post-Dispatch and a than the 42 countries who denied Steffi the right to enter. She was an intimate friend of Hitler and before the war was his most trust ed agent. , .If Hitler hadn’t killed himself, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned up on some beldame’s arm for a concert at Carnegie Hall”. . .Fine way to talk about the poor, poor woman. My card, sir!. . .Carl L. Marek, a war vet eran, writes he is opposed to Flag stad’s success here. ‘For this pur pose,” he adds, ‘‘a few of us with similar feelings agreed to picket in front of Carnegie Hall on the 20th.

I would appreciate indeed knowing why you made this re quest”. . .1 heard of planned dis order and I am opposed to such shenanigans. . .Now be a good boy, Carl, and lemme be the bad ldie. former crusading member of the Missouri legislature. In New York, he ran up the circulation of the World to what was then a record peak — 300,000 daily and 623,000 Sunday. (Pulitzer began his newspaper career in St. Louis as a reporter for the German - language West liche-Post. In 1878, he bought the dying dispatch at auction for $2, 500 cash and a $30,000 lien. It JOSEPH PULITZER later was merged with the Post, and was made politically inde pendent and devoted to “hard money” and tariff reform.) “J. P. fought insincerity in any form. He iought Tammany and worked for passage of the income and inheritance taxes. I remem ber one campaign in St. Louis when we were crusading for more equitable tax assessments. “We ran columns of tax bills. In one column, there were the bills of some prominent merchant, even J. P.’s own banker, or any other affluent person who had only nominal assessments. In the ad joining column, we printed the comparatively high tax bills of some poor grocer or teamster. “Some of the advertisers raised a big howl but the taxes were adjusted. "Another favorite c a mpaign of his was the time the World raised the money for the Statue of Liber ty pedestal. Congress, you know, had failed to provide for it. “Once—and it was only once— J. P. asked my opinion on endow ing a school of journalism. I sug gested it might be a better idea to endow a newspaper w'ith $5, 000,000 against the day when ad vertisers might boycott it because of policy. That often happened to us. I thought such a paper would be forever free of any threat to its integrity. “J. P. answered, *what, and make loafers of my sons?’ That was the sum total of that confer ence. He wanted a paper a good paper, to fight for its life.” (Pulitzer died in 1911. Ceremo nies honoring his memory will be held Thursday at Columbia uni versity, with addresses by Secre tary of War Robert P. Patterson, Mayor William O’Dwyer and Act ing University President Frank D.

Professionals accounted for vir tually all of the meager volume. Broadrooms were almost deserted by customers who elected to stretch the Good Friday holiday over a long week-end. Trends were indefinite from the start and lead ers well jumbled at ■ the close. Transfers of 270,000 shares were I a low since July 29, 1944. They compared with 290,000 in the pre ceding short stretch.

Sand Dune People Shake Heads Over Aeronautics BY HAL BOYLE KILL DEVIL HILL, April 5. —(iP)— The airplane had made a bigger impression on' the outer world than it did in the sand dune country where it was born. The Wright Brothers ushered in the air era here 43 years ago last December 17, but some people along the sea coast still think it was a crazy idea. They feel that the whole experi ment was a big mistake. They laughed and shook their heads then. They don’t laugh now, but some still shake their heads. Only two men are living of the small volunteer crew of coast guardsmen and Hangerson who helped the “Mad Brothers'’ from Dayton, O., wheel their flimsy boxkite c o ntraption into position for the takeoff—a flibberty flight of a few seconds that changed war and peace forever. Capt. John R. Daniel of the coast guard is old, feeble and re tired. Johnny Moore, a young duckhunter who gave aviation one mascular push and forgot it, is an elderly fisherman who still lives over the dukes in a frame house set in a small clearing. Johnny has a large family. When folks ask him now many children he has answered: “Can’t say for sure till I burn off the brush ‘roun the house.’’ His proudest moment came when President Hoover, visiting the natal sites of American air power, said to him musingly: “so you are Little Johnny Moore. ’ Residents of the nearby villages of Kitty Hawk and Manteo tho ught so little of the possibility of men ever flying that none accept ed the Wrights’ invitation to at tend the 190 demonstration. No newspapermen were present. Miffed, the brothers tried to ban reporters from their next trials here in May 1908, but sev eral newsmen watched from dunes a half mile away. Public interest had risen. When one English reporter tried to hold the only telegraph wire out of Manteo by having the telegrapher send pages tom from a magazine, another reporter threatened to brain him with a chair. The reporters sent their copy in turn after that. Byron Newton, later assistant Secretary of the Treasury, was specifically assigned to the story by the publisher of the New York Herald. When Newton conscienti ously reported for several days running that the Wright machine was flying successfully he was suspended for six weeks without pay for “faking”. The disbelieving Cleveland Lea der wired another correspondent: “cut out wild cat stuff ” Wilbur Wright, himself unaware of how fast aviation would grow, told a correspondent that in his opinion no machine could ever be made to fly across the ocean un til something better than a gaso line engine was developed to drive it. a little boy named Charles Lindbergh wasn’t old en ough to refute him then. Telegrapher Alpheus W. Drink water, 71, who still has the “bug” with which he sent out the news of the Wright flights in 1908, shares his wife’s doubt about the airplane. “I think it was a pity it was ever invented,”" said Mrs. Drink water, who has never been in one. “Well, it has done some good.” said Alph, who dislikes flying al though he has been up a few times. “Yes, but we could have done without it,” replied Mrs. Drink water, and took up her tatting.
